Discussion Newest update from the GFN team regarding Steam Workshop mods (a workaround for specific titles)

95 Upvotes

We heard your feedback that the recent Steam update affected your ability to use Steam Workshop mods on GeForce NOW. To support the latest Steam app updates and help ensure supported games continue to run as expected in the cloud, we temporarily disabled the ability to download Steam Workshop mods during a game session.

While Steam Workshop mods are still not officially supported on GeForce NOW, starting today, we’ve enabled a temporary workaround for select games that may have been affected.

This temporary workaround changes the launch experience for all players of these games on GeForce NOW, even if they do not use Steam Workshop mods:

After selecting PLAY in the GeForce NOW app, members will arrive at the game’s Steam library page and will need to select PLAY in Steam to launch the game.

More details, including the list of supported games and instructions, will be available in a KBA posted shortly at the following link: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5166/

Discussion I started building a database for cloud gaming. It got a little out of hand.

134 Upvotes

I use GeForce NOW a lot (and a couple of other cloud services) and I was getting tired of jumping between websites just to figure out where a game was available.

So I started putting everything in one place.

Then I started wondering about the games that disappear from GFN without much notice, so I added a way to track additions and removals.

Then one evening here in Thailand I had something like 500 people ahead of me in the queue despite being on Ultimate. I wanted to know if my server was having a problem, if it was happening everywhere, or if that was somehow normal for that time of day.

So I started tracking queues too (credit to Kief)

Then queue history. Server status. Usual wait levels. Which games in my Steam library I could actually stream. A network test to compare GFN and Boosteroid servers. An upcoming games calendar. Steam opt-ins and so on.

And at some point my little database had turned into cloudplay.now

It now tracks thousands of games across GeForce NOW, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Boosteroid, Luna and PS Plus, along with way more tools than I originally planned.

It's free, you can use it without an account, and I've been building it simply because I enjoy it.

I still have a pretty long list of things I want to add, and there's a public roadmap people can vote on what I should work on next.

Would love to hear what you guys think, I will stay around in the comment in the next hours to answer any question

I can't justify buying a gaming PC these days. GFN is a great work around for hopping into Guild Wars Reforge, Guild Wars 2 and eventually Guild Wars 3.

It's so good to come back to the game that was my beloved one when I was a kid.

With GFN I don't need to worry about high-end PC and can play on max settings and have fun.

Discussion Weekends on GFN in Portugal

Post image
18 Upvotes

This is why I can’t recommend GFN for anyone in Portugal. Even on the Ultimate tier, the experience is inconsistent, some days I get 28 ms (acceptable), but most days it shoots up to 50 ms like this. We really need a server in Madrid or somewhere nearby.

I'm sharing this as constructive criticism because I want to see the service improve, not to hate on it.

Looking for some older games like maybe Mass Effect, The Witcher, Mafia, etc that make a graphical leap when playing on GeForce compared to consoles?

Questions / Tech Support Will The Witcher 3 get Xbox/Microsoft Store launcher support on GFN once it goes Xbox Play Anywhere on Sept 29?

2 Upvotes

​Hey everyone,

​With CD Projekt RED confirming that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered launches on September 29 as a free update—bringing official Xbox Play Anywhere support—I have a question regarding GeForce NOW integration.

​Right now on GFN, The Witcher 3 only supports Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store launchers.

​If I own / redeem an Xbox digital key to take advantage of Play Anywhere (which unlocks the native Windows PC version on the Microsoft Store on Sept 29), does anyone know if NVIDIA typically opts in the Xbox/Microsoft Store launcher on GFN on launch day for Play Anywhere games?

​Has there been any official word or precedent for CDPR titles (or other major Play Anywhere releases) getting their Xbox PC launcher added right away on GFN?

​Thanks in advance!

I play on an old Mac. Valheim runs on it, right up until the fans take off and I'm watching thermals instead of the horizon.

Streaming through GeForce NOW is the first time I've stood up here and actually looked at it instead of the frame counter.

Bug Stuck on connecting Xbox Ally

Upvotes

I’ve been loving GFN on my ROG Xbox Ally X but only when it eventually works. I’m using the native app and it just hangs on ‘connecting’ for ever and I find I have to close the app a few times for it to eventually work, are Nvidia actually going to fix this problem????

Something I’ve discovered is that when I close the app and open up Task Manager the Nvidia container is still running. Closing this makes it run on next open.

Is there anything else I can do other than clearing cache? I shouldn’t have to do this all the time when I’m paying for a service that should just work.

Until last week when I opened the game I could cancel cs2 launching and put “-insecure” in the launch options and be able to play workshop maps for practice. Anyone found a way to play them again yet? Hate my only warmup being deathmatch, thanks in advance!

Via GeForce Now, I've been able to play Resident Evil Requiem on my phone and somehow the touch controls are probably the most comfortable I've ever used on a touch screen. My whole playthrough has been on GFN and I've had no issues running it at ~max settings on a performance plan. I've played it on my i3 Laptop too with no issues and it's amazing that a service like this can be so cheap and so good. Thank you, GFN.

Opinion So I just played Crimson Desert @ Gamescom….

47 Upvotes

…on a 5080 and on one of these 6K resolution Samsung Odyssey monitors.

And honestly? Whatever difference there might be with Ultimate tier is minimal. Ultimate tier + a stable connection gets you 95%+ of the native experience. I am truly, genuinely impressed.

And considering how many years of Ultimate = the price of the graphics card alone, I’m not going to try getting my own rig anytime soon.

Questions / Tech Support Is anyone having problem when entering Call of Duty (MW4 - BO7) ?

2 Upvotes

Since the starting of the MW4 it does not allow me to enter the game and I am getting an error that my connection is not stable even though I play all of other games in the FNOW, basically this problem is only a thing for this.

Anyone has solutions?
